If anything, we must think even more when we are carrying a firearm. Your friend needs to realize that when he straps on his firearm, any fight that he gets into immediately becomes a "gun fight" by default. He may never draw, but the gun is still there and he may have to fight to retain the weapon during a scuffle.
People like your friend worry me. We should practice avoidance as much as we practice drawing and firing.
I totally agree!
That is why I listed this person as an "acquaintence" and not as a friend.
When I am with persons - or friends - who carry, we must be mutually thoughtful because if I do something stupid with my gun, I automatically draw him or her into it, as well.
And vice versa . . .

Is there a M&P model that anyone would recommend for concealed carry?

So many great comments above . . . great wisdom. One small addition:
THINK THINK THINK THINK THINK and then THINK SOME MORE - carrying a firearm does not negate thinking about where we are and what is going on around us. Going for the gun should be the LAST option, and not the first. I have an acquaintence who states, "I just go and do what I want without thinking about it because I have a gun." WRONG! When I am walking in a parking lot of a business at dusk, I am not "turning my brain off" because I am carrying. I am vigilent, watchful, and am prepared for evasive action that may - or may not - include drawing my weapon.

If and when you meet the "woman of your dreams," you may want to think twice before fixing this dish for her . . .

As a very rough idea, the 2007 Gun Digest Book of Guns & Prices lists:
New in Box -$ 400
Excellent - $325
Very Good - $300
Good - $250
Fair - $200
Poor - $150

Subject: FBI Job Opening
The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background
checks, interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists; two
men and a woman. For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the
men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. 'We must know that
you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances.
Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair . . . Kill
her!!' The man said, 'You can't be serious. I could never shoot my
wife.' The agent said, 'Then you're not the right man for this job.
Take your wife and go home.'
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and
went into the room All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes,
'I tried, but I can't kill my wife.' The agent said, 'You don't have what it takes. Take your wife home.'
Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same
instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the
room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming,
crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet.
The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, wiping the sweat
from her brow. 'This gun is loaded with blanks' she said. 'I had to
beat him to death with the chair.'
MORAL:
Women are crazy. Don't mess with them

No problem . . . you actually helped me to make a good point - when with someone who is carrying, we better be sure of that person's judgment, because it if questionable or poor, we can pulled into their "crap" before we know it.
